Eventbase Launches 'Expo Connect’ with iBeacon Technology To Help Exhibitors Attract More Qualified

December 1, 2015 - Baltimore, MD and Vancouver, Canada - Eventbase Technology Inc., the leading app platform for premium events, is unveiling an exciting new product for trade show exhibitors at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition 2015 taking place in Baltimore this week.


Expo Connect from Eventbase will help generate more qualified leads by matching exhibitors to nearby attendees based on their interests. The product utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) proximity beacons (iBeacons) placed at select exhibitor booths to generate a targeted alert for matched attendees who are in range.


Eventbase will be demonstrating Expo Connect at select exhibitor booths across the Expo! Expo! trade show floor. Visit booth #494 to see it in action.


Eventbase is also powering the Exhibitor Lead Retrieval App in conjunction with registration provider Streampoint.


3D Deep Maps, Find Me and Gamification in the Expo! Expo! 2015 Mobile App

Eventbase is also powering the official Expo! Expo! 2015 Mobile App on iOS and Android devices, and deploying hundreds of beacons throughout the show to drive advanced features including:


  • 3D Deep Maps - in partnership with Heidelberg Mobil Gmbh

  • ‘Find Me’ Indoor Location: uses beacons to show your location on a map throughout the venue, where GPS is not accurate. No internet connection required.

  • Gamification: attendees can earn entries into this year’s grand prize by visiting featured exhibitors and using beacon technology to check in.

“We’re excited to be providing a host of exhibitor tools aimed at boosting user engagement and helping exhibitors connect with attendees in a more meaningful way,” said IAEE Vice President of Exhibitions and Events Scott Craighead, CEM.. “As a premiere show for the event industry, Expo! Expo! is an apt setting for Eventbase to showcase its advanced mobile technology.”
